frequently overdone and fussinessand
disorder produced instead of repose and

Opposed to Annexation.
Secretary Fortune, of the Commercial
Club, went over to Haughvill yesterday
to learn how tho people in that suburb feel
toward annexation. He says ho was treat
ed courteously, but found the field unfavor
able for agitation. Some of the leading
citizens would favor such a movement,
but others equally influential would
be against it. The latter even dis
couraged tho idea of talking about tho
matter. The officials are unwilling to go
far enough to call a conference. West In
dianapolis, they think, could join the city
and be greatly benefitted, but aa as for
Haughville, the question is not to be
thought of for a moment. However, every
body with whom the secretary talked re
garded annexation as a certainty within
the next ten years, but the Hanghville cit
zens want to enjoy their low tax levy a few
years more.

Seventh District Republicans Come Into
the Field with Their Candidate.
Assurances from Several Quarters That the
Party Is Getting Into Excellent Fighting
Form Political Meetings and Notes.
TOE ANDERSON CONVENTION.
It Nominates J. Jr W. ISlllingiley for Con
gress by Acclamation.
There was a marked degree of interest
taken in the work of the Seventh con
gressional district convention of tho Re
publicans at Anderson yesterday. Nearly
a hundred went from this city and county,
and proportionately large delegations were
present from Hancock, Shelby and Madison
counties. There were no pledges and
promises to hold the delegates to any candi
date, although quite a number of men were
talked of in connection with the nomina
tion to be made.
In a district that has heretofore bcon Dem
ocratic, it was realized that this year's can
didate for Congress must be a hard worker,
a stanch Republican and a popular man,
and to this end the convention worked,
Doxej's Music Hall was well filled at 2
o'clock in the afternoon when the conven
tion was called to order. On motion of
Otto Gresham, R. A. Black, of Hancock,
was chosen permanent chairman. Four
secretaries from the several coun
ties composing tho . district were
chosen, as follows: Charlos Wiltse, Marion;
W. S. Montgomery, Hancock; J. H. Lewis,
Madison; Thomas Ellis, Shelby. Mr. Black,
in accepting the chairmanship, thanked
tho convention and spoke briefly of tho ap
proaching campaign. "It is necessary,"
said ne, "to look at two things in consider
ing a political party its past history and
its latest official declarations. Viewing tho
Democratic party from these etand-points
there is absolutely nothing to hope for. If
any man can point with pride to its history
he is hopelessly a Democrat. Applause. 1
To what worse condition could a man bo
consigned! Apnlause.l What hope is
there for its future! Look at tho recent
Democratic convention at Indianapolis; its
opealng prayer was sacrilege and its plat
form was an insult to common sense and
propriety. Applause. J There was but one
thing consistent about its work. After de
nouncing tho judiciary tho convention put
Green Smith on their ticket. ILaugh
ter.l I do not mean to leave
the impression that if the Democratic
party was in power the country would go
to ruin, but that tho best interests of our
government depend upon its continuous
defeat. The Republican party is a party of
Serformances. The election which put In
lana'a most famous son in the presidential
chair Prolonged applause. 1 showed that.
And the Republican majoritvin tho House,
with the aid of the good Lord and Tom
Reed (laughter) have redeemed tho pledges,
regardless of the schemes of Bynum and
his associates. Tho soldiers of this country
must hold tho Democratic party responsi
ble for the veto of tho only measure that
could have been passed by a Congress, one
House of which was Democratic. And
what has the Republican party done for
themT Everything; for it has stood by
them and their widows and children. But
I am taking your time. Wo have met here
to-day to relieve this poor, grass-burned
district of the misrepresentation we have
had, Applause and I hope your deliber
ations may securo the desired end."
On motion of Dr. Van Vorhis.of this city,
the convention unanimously indorsed the
work of tho State convention and the plat
form of the party. The call for nomina
tions was then made, and, on behalf of his del
egation, Dr. Van Vorhis presented tho name
of J. J. W. Billingsley, which was received
with great applause. Tho name of Charles
L. Henry, of MadisonVvas also greeted with
cheers, but he said ho could not accept tho
nomination on account of his business.
While 1 thank this convention." he said.
"I must nevertheless decline. Although
this is a Democratic district. I should be
more than willing to enter into the race
if ho could."
Mr. Billingsley was then chosen by accla
mation, no other candidates being pre
sented to the convention. Mr. Henry
was again called out, and he briefly
spoke m behalf of his party. Tho time had
come, he said, to work all along the line,
and to work earnestly. J. W. Lovett, Re
publican candidate for Attorney-general,
was also called out. He .spoke of the Dem
ocratic platform, which he designated "a
string of denunciations and vilifications
from first to last." He also briefly traced
tho history of the Republican party, and
alluded to tho Democratic as the party of
obstructions. After giving three cheers
for Mr. Billingsley the convention ad
iourned, the most of tho delegates leaving
by the early afternoon trains.
The selection of Mr. Billingsley is looked
upon as a very fortunate one. His career
has been one to which any citizen could
point with pride. He was born in
Bowling Green, Ky., on Sept. 18,
1832. and colebrated his fifty-eighth
birthday, yesterday, by receiving congratu
lations over his nomination, lie came to
Indiana with his father's family in 1834,
and located in Putnam county. After he
became of age he went to Illinois, and lived
in that State oight years. He presided ovor
the first Republican convention that ever
met in southern Illinois, in 1S56. He re
turned to Indiana in 1661, and lived in Put
num county until 18454; then he moved to
Decatur township, this county, and lived
on a farm there until 1872. In 18T2 he pur
chased an interest in the Indiana Farmer,
and moved to this city. He was connected
with the Farmer about two years, after
which ho served in the Legislature of 1872-3.
He was engaged a few years in manufactur
ing, and in 1870 started tho Drainage and Tile
Journal. This has proved a successful en
terprise and is leading authority in that
field. Since 1S72 he has been more or less
connected with farmers' movements, ad
dressing farmers' institutes and other
gatherings in which the agriculturists
were interested. Ho has not been in active
politics for mauy years past and did not
seek the nomination, declining even to at
.tend the convention at Anderson. He will
accept, however, and says he will make a
vigorous canvass of the district.
Republican Vigor in the District.
While the Seventh district islookedupon
as a Democratic stronghold, there seems to
have been a great change of heart among
certain classes of citizens. Especially is
this true in Madison county. CoL Milton
S. Robinson, of Anderson, is one of the
shrewdest and most active politicians of
the county, and he has made a particular
study of tho outlook. "I do not think I
have ever known the prospects of the Re
publican party so good as they are at the
present time." he said to a Journal reporter
yesterday. "The party has every advantage
in its organization. It has hard workers
and is not cut ud by factional differences.
The Republicans are in excellent shape to
meet tho Democracy, and they can do a
great deal if they will only get out and
work."
"There has been a'great change in Ander
son, alone, has thero notf" asked the re
porter. A decided change," was the reply. "In
the last two years we have had an increase
of 1.500 people on account of tho discovery
of natural gas, and CO per cent, of them
aro Republicans. If you don't think tho
Republicans have been gaining ground in
the last six years, look at the figures. In
181 Hazelett, Republican, was elected by a
majority of 10; in 18SG McClure, Republic
an, polled a majority of 1U, and in 18SS he
was re-elected with a majority of 1U3. This
year we not only elected a Republican
mayor (whoso majority was . 274),
but we elected the full city
ticket. The Democrats didn't even gat a
councilman. And this in what encourages
us. We feel we aro rapidly gaining ground,
and if we can't wipe out the Democratic
majority this year on tho congressional
ticket. 1 know to a certainty wo can cut it
down."
Any one who would take the trouble to
look over the ground in Madison county
would find anything but an apathy among
Republicans. Among the delegates to yes
terday's convention not ouu was inclined to
doubt the ability of the Republican party
to make a successful canvass if everybody
will but work,
PHASES OP T1IE 'CAMPAIGN.
Republicans of the Fourteenth Ward Hare an
Enthusiastic Meeting.
Tho Republicans of the Fourteenth ward
opened the campaign last night with a
rousing meeting in tho hall, corner of Blake
add North streets. The Brotherhood Band
was present, and, after playing several airs
on the street, led the crowd up-stairs, where
the proceedings took place. The best of feel
ing prevailed from tho first, gathering tho
force of enthusiasm before adjournment.
County Committeeman Mowrer called the
meeting to orderi and was elected chair
man. Dr. George Havey was called out for
a speech. He spoke a few minutes in a
general way, touching on the salient feat
ures of the canvass. Referring to the many
colored voters in the hall, he compared
them to tho Old Guard, who won glory and
victory so often with Napoleon. Tho col
ored voters are tho Old Guard of tho Re
publican party, he said, upon whom it may
depend in every trial of strength with tho
Democratic party. The meeting, he re
marked, was advertised as the opening
gun of tho campaign, and with
the splendid ehowing of numbers
and feeling manifested, ho thought
the gun was loaded to the muzzle. The
speaker closed with a eulogy of the Repub
lican party, extolling its spirit and policy
and appealing for united ettort to achieve
a victory. The speech was frequently in
terrupted by aDplause. After tho Doctor
came candidates Dunn, Browning, Noble,
Stiles. Grubbs. Groff, Johnson and Church
ill. Each spoke briefly and encouragingly.
Mr. Wiltse, secretary of tho Republican
county committee, was also called out,
and added interest to the meeting.
Among other leading Republicans present
were: 'Squire Hawkins and Robert Rns
feell, committeemen; John L. Evans, Will
iam Davis, Washington Watkins, John
Kinchin, Anderson Lewis, Charles Hart,
Samuel Allen, E. Alberts, Clinton Lowe and
a large number of others. Several Repub
licans of other wards were present, among
them being Charles Britton, Edward
D uvall and A. 1L York.
The likelihood of Green Smith being
elected Attorney-general, in spito of its
very remoto possibility, comes near to pro
ducing a panio among the lawyers of In
diana, regardless of what their individual
politics maybe. If tho court reporter of
the Jennings circuit has preserved any of
Mr. Smith's bean-threshing eloquence as
delivered before that court, ho can now
find a market for it The caso of Wrapo vs.
the Ohio & Mississippi Railway Company,
recently appealed to the Supreme Court, and
in which Mr. Smith gave tongue to a large
amount of tho most villainous abuse of
railway employes, contains a number of
verbal gems. "1 don't intend," says Green
Smith, in his closing argument in this case,
"to writo myself down as a dogwood
lawyer, nor as one who comes from another
jurisdiction, parading before the jury the
majesty of his own grace." IThink
of the Green Smith variety of
majesty and grace! "It is beneath
the dignity of this case to talk about old
coats that fire: it is beneath the dignity of
this case to talk about black-jacks, and red
lacks, and blue-jacks, and sassafras! Here
is this hero railroad company with their
strong arm, with their dictatorial power,
with their pomp and their splendor, with
gold regalia dazzling theeyesof tho court as
they march through here, loaded down with
books, and gold, and diamond jewelry
I have no other people to live among
but the people of Jennings county. lam
going to be with you, gentlemen, until the
green sod covers me over and my toes are
turned to the roots of the grass. Did you
ever see such a woeful case of men being
done up by their own witnesses? Nobody
but men that had tried to build a house on
a sand-bank, expecting the house to stand,
ever suffered such humiliation as that. Mr.
Wells a witness will tell the truth. Of
course it would not do to hit them too
square a blow between the eyes, but finally,
on cross-examination, he knocked them
clear out a John L. Sullivan blow." There
is plenty more of the same sort, but this is
sufficient to show the style of Green Smith's
argument. What an ornament he would
prove to the Supremo Court!
South Meridian street, always solid and
conservative, is at last beginning to take
an interest in the Republican county
ticket and to talk about it. Tho legislative
ticket comes in for a large share of favor
able comment. Meridian street is inter
ested in having tho county represented in
the Legislature by men who will labor to
bring about some much needed legislation
in order that Indianapolis may have a
chance in her race with other cities of the
Union. The Commercial Club has ex
pressed itself very forcibly on the subject.
"We have," remarked a South Meridian
street Republican, "the very kind of a
ticket that the Commercial Club indicated,
and I am pleased to know that

number of members of that non-pol
body. Democrats as well as Renubl
look with favor udou the Renul

nominees, and aro quietly working for

noted as representative of the best ele
ments of the community, and tho whole
ticket has the hearty support of the street.
Under tho now system of voting Marion
county elections are likely to bo somewhat
burdensome to the tax-payer. The ma
chinery is not only complex but expensive.
Thero will be in this county 100 voting
precincts, and at each precinct five officers,
constituting the election board, consisting
of one inspector, two judges and two clerks,
each of whom will get for each day's service
2.50. In addition to these there will be
two election sheriffs, who are to be paid
2.50 a day each. There will also be two
United States supervisors in each precinct,
but as the government, and not the county,
will pay them, they will not be taken into
account. There are to be at each precinct
nine unpaid watchers, three from each
political party, for sixteen men may bo in
the room at the time the counting of the
ballots begins. Tho seven men for each
precinct who are to bo paid by the county
will each count two days' work, making a
total of $35. They will also have to be fed,
and tho county will be called on to
pay for at least two meals for each of
them. The County Commissioners will
contract to pay 40 cents a plate on these
occasions, which will make an outlay for
feed at each poll amounting to $5.00. The
locations for tho polling-places are to be
rented, and will cost on an average $5each,
the booths at each poll costing about 15,
making 20 in all. This will make a total
for the 100 polling-places of $7,909. But
this is not all the expense. Print in ct the
tickets will cost the county about 250; dia
grams of the voting precincts, 6275, and ad
vertising the election and posting the no
tices, at least $100 more, making a total of
$3,024. Prediction is made that, with this
much expense in sight, the full amount of
bills that will be presented to tho County
Commissioners for payment for the Novem
ber election will not fall short of $10,000, as
there are numerous incidentals, not to
speak of the publication of the ticket and
descriptions of the precinct boundaries.
There was a mad Democrat in the. city
yesterday, and he unbosomed himself in the
hearing of several well satisfied Republic
ans concerning the serene confidence of his
party. "Why, the d d fools are so sure of
carrying the State," said ho, "that you can't
beat into their heads anything in the
way of a warning. They prattle about
10,000 and 15,000 majority, as if they lived
south of the Mason-Dixon lines where ev
erything is a 'cinch' for tho Democrats. I
tried to tell a lot of them to-day that the
Republicans have a nasty habit of finishing
in such a lively manner that the Democrats
find themselves a little short of enough
votes, but they laughed at me, and said
1 talked like a Jonah. They think
they have a walk-away, but you
mark my words, about Nov.lthoy willtind
out that the Republicans are hustling them
so hard their hair will be on end. I tell
you, when it comes to brains and good com
mon political sense our leaders are lackiug,
t?id that's just where we lose." This Dem
ocratic explosion emiuated, not from a dis
appointed candidato for a nomination, but
from a member of the party in good stand
ing, who was simply mad at the sure-thing
talk of his fellow-Democrats.
Political Notes.
Secretary of State Griffin returned yes

promising Republican success were never
more favorable.
Ex-Mayor John L. McMaster will address

Marshal A. Moore, of Greencastle. was in

a good feeling among the Republicansof
Putnam county, and general satisfaction
over what the State convention did last
week.
Mr. Michener apprehends that it will be
somewhat difficult to get speakers of na

most of them are in Congress, when Con
gress adjourns they will return to their
districts to look after their own interests.
Granvillo S. Wright has taken, charge of
the work of assigning speakers for the Re
publican State central committee. Mr.
Wright did that work very acceptably in
the canvass of 18S8. A very heavy corre
spondence in regard to speakers is now go
ing on, and the speech-making part of the
campaign will open in full force about Oct.L
A Democrat from southern Indiana, who
was in the city yesterday, remarked that
he was feeling particularly blue. "I never
before saw such apathy in the heavy Dem
ocratic counties," he remarked. "They
don't seem to care whether the grand old
Democratic party wins or not. I haven't
seen our people so careless about results
since 1872, when we run Greeley for the
presidency."
BARRETT LAW CRUDELY DBAWN.
Some Conf rj8lon Arises Under It, tmtlt Carries
with It No Blanket Jlortgage.
There has been considerable misunder
standingin regard to the provisions of the
Barrett law, and many property-holders
have felt no little anxiety as to its practical
working. "The principal objection to tho
law," said City Attorney Taylor to the
Journal reporter who called upon him yes
terday with a number of interrogatories,,
"is that it is crudely drawn and not clear
in its use of terms. Besides this, it is com
plex. It requires a semi-annual payment
of interest, both on the bonds issued by tho
city and by the property-holder, as the as
sessment appears against him on the tax
duplicate. Much confusion, however, has
arisen because tho sharp distinction is not
made between the contract that the bond
holder makes with the city and tho con
tract that the property-holder makes with
the contractor. The bonds that are issued
may be dated at any time and payable any
time. The assessment against the proper
ty, on the other hand, must be paid by
tho property-holder before the third
Monday - in April and the first
Monday in November of each year. When
the property-holder goes to the county
treasurer's offico and pays his assessment a
receipt is given him, and he is credited
therewith upon the tax duplicate. When
he has paid all his assessments, the dupli
cate will show such payments, andhis prop
erty is entirely released."
, "But." interposed tho reporter, "suppose
his neighbors have not paid, or the city has
not paid tho bonds!"
"It is no concern of his," was the reply,
"what has become of the bonds, who holds
them, or whether they have been paid or
hot. His property is entirely released when
he has paid his assessments. It is the City s
business, and not his, to see that the bonjs
are paid. There is no such thing as a lieu
or cloud of any kind upon his property.
In this city we have made this point espe
cially clear by issuing a separate bond to
cover each property-holder's assessment.
Furthermore, we issue the bond with nine
teen coupons, each alternate coupon
being for interest, and the others
being for interest and 10 per
cent, of tbo principal. These bonds are
issued to the contractor. He takes them,
and sells or keeps them, as he chooses.
Each six months he clips a coupon, takes it
to the county treasurers office, where it is
paid out of money that has been paid, as
stated, by property-holders."
''Suppose the property-holder docs not
pay!"
"Then the contractor or holder of the
bond immediately brings suit thereon and
forecloses the bond, like in the case of a
mortgage. This proceeding does not affect
any other property-holder than the one who
is delinquent."
"What as to the right of a property
holder to pay off all his installments at one
time!"
"On that point the law is not as olear as
it should he, but to save all question the
city has stipulated in the bond that the
same may be paid at any time by paying
the principal and the first installment of
interest thereafter falling due thus cut
ting off', after paying tho first year, nine
years of interest, if paid tho second year
eight years of interest, and so on."
"How are persons to proceed who desire
the benfitof the law!"
"They should file an acceptance of its pro
visions with the city clerk before the final
estimate for the work has been approved,
otherwise they will have to pay for the en
tire improvement at once. This occurs, of
course, after the improvement has been
completed. The city clerk has a printed
record for the property-holders to sign, and
they may leave their signatures at any
timo before the work is completed. AlLthis
fear of a blanket mortgage being upon all
property-holders interested in an improve
ment, should any fail to pay, arises from
tho fact that in some cities they have issued
ten or more bonds covering tho entire im
provement, so that each bondis secured by
the assessment upon all the property upon
the street. No such practice prevails in
Indianapolis."
WAITING THE COMPANY'S PLEASURE.
Under the New School-Book Law There Need
Be No Hurry in Filling Requisitions.
The beauties of the school-book law en
acted by the late Democratic Legislature
are once again illustrated by tho delay in
providing books for the children in various
parts of the State, a delay which the law
not only tolerates, but encourages. This
statute, of which the Democratic party is so
proud, compels the State superintendent
to at oncissue requisitions for books upon
application, but it does not compel the pub
lishers to furnish them at once, or even
within a reasonable time. It gives the In
diana School-books Company ninety days
to supply the book, and it looks as if that
corporation was going to take the limit of
time in many localities. In con
sequence of this many schools aro
suffering, and there are complaints
from a number of quarters. The new
county superintendents do not come into
office until Aug. 1 each year, and the retir
ing officials do not care to make applica
tion for books. Hence it is left for the new
superintendents to do. Thus it is that some
of tho requisitions are not filled un
til November.' two months after the
school year has begun. Tbo law gives
the company that latitude and the com
pany avails itself of the three months.
Take South Bend, for instance. The Indi
ana School-book Company sent just one
hundred elementary geographies, when the
requisition called for hundreds more. The
same is true of other text-books wanted in
that locality.

If a1 corset Is perfect in
other respects and has the
usual metal eyelets, the laces
will break at the most annoy
ing times ; for the eyelets cut
them.
There is a better, eyelet ;
made of loops of corset lace ;
soft eyelet we call it It costs
no more, is neater, more such
as a woman would make for
herself, besides the conveni
ence of not wearing out or
cutting the laces.
The Ball and Kabo corsets
are eyeleted with it
You can get these corsets
and wear them two or three
weeks; and, if you do not
like them, return them. The
makers pay the merchants to
sell them so.
